title: [Children With Bicycle and Hoop,]
date: 1919-01-10
language: English
description: Dated "Jan 10, 1919", this picture was contained in an envelope
 postmarked "Aug. 4 '75", and addressed to A. F. Weaver Photography from
 Charles W. [Windell] Simonds.  
     Handwriting on the envelope indicates it
 was from a short-wave "Ham' radio operator correspondent and friend of Mr.
 Weaver.  Notes on the envelope indicate the picture was probably taken by the
 correspondent's father, Clarence Winfield Simonds.  
     The sign on the
 tree at the left edge of the picture indicates this was the Vance Villa
 (Rooming House) in a residential part of town.  (Vance Villa is listed in the
 1914 City Director of Mineral Wells at 811 N. College, which is now NW 5th
 Avenue.)  
     Note the hoop held by the child on the left, while the boy on
 the right appears to be holding a unicycle--or, perhaps, an early bicycle
 whose rear wheel is not visible..
